And although British Science Week technically ended on Monday, this is the last of my Science Week bookings!

Fabulous school and excellent students. I wonder what they will do next!

I've still got a few more NSA masterclasses to deliver, but I get a bit of respite first.

Disgruntled walks time. Yes spring is on it's way and there are plenty of beautiful things to see. But the harsh reality is that sometimes other people and their actions leave you questioning why you left the house. Yesterday we rolled over dog 💩 in the pram, today a driver went out of his way to splash us whilst the sidekick slept in her pram! I genuinely despair!

Hopefully we'll have a better experience tomorrow - a change of location might help!

Day 44 - 2.5 hours

Day 45 - 2.75 hours (in 2 sections as we had to get dry and changed 🙄)

Feb - 24.5 hours

Total - 76.5 hours

A wonderful catch up with friends. The tide was as high as I've ever seen it at Fairhaven Lake today. And sidekick fell asleep as we were nearly back at the car, so I walked her for an extra hour in the sunshine 🌞

Day 43 - 2.75 hours

Feb - 19.25 hours

A big update.

Day 39 - 1.5 hours in the sleet, because OF COURSE she wouldn't sleep at home

Day 40 - 2 hours and the first plum blossom of 2024!

Day 41 - 0.5 hours. A lot more time out of the house appreciating nature and enjoying the outdoors, but only about half an hour meeting the 'but could you get eaten by a bear?' criteria 🤣

Day 42 - 1.25 hours. Between my own walk to the gym and the first walk to somewhere by the sidekick (and then play in the park), we clocked up over an hour today too.

Feb - 16.5 hours

Total - 68.5 hours
